Overview

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is classified into four different categories according to American Academy of Pediatrics Surgery classification based upon the anatomical location of the tumor.[1][2] Subtypes of sacrococcygeal teratoma have different staging systems based on the size and growth of the tumor, lymph node involvement, and the presence of metastasis.[3]

Classification

American Academy of Pediatrics Surgery Section System classifies Sacrococcygeal teratoma depending on the anatomical location of the tumor.

  • Type I - Predominantly exterior, with minimal pelvic involvement.[1][2]
  • Type II - Predominantly external, with significant intrapelvic growth giving "hour-glass" appearance.
  • Type III - Predominantly internal, withh intra-abdominal involvement.
  • Type IV - Entirely pre-sacral, without external growth.

Staging of Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

  • I - Complete resection; negative tumor margins[3]
  • II - Microscopic residuals; lymph node negative
  • III - Lymph node involvement; Gross residual on biopsy; retroperitoneal node may be positive or negative
  • IV - Distant metastasis may involve liver

Grade

According to Gonzalez-Crussi System, Sacrococcygeal teratoma is graded on a scale from 0-3, based on the histology:[2][4]

  • Grade 0-Tumour contains only mature tissue.
  • Grade 1-Tumour contains rare foci of immature tissues; <10%>
  • Grade 2-Tumour contains moderate quantities of immature tissues.(10-50%)
  • Grade 3-Tumour contains large quantities of immature tissue with or without malignant yolk sac elements.(>50%)
